You can't do that.

Only the yellow is the video signal. The red and the white are audio (left and right stereo) signals. This is called composite.

The red,green and blue on the tv are all video signals. Those are called component signals.

You cannot mix composite and component.

You need to get the correct PS3 connector to get that type of connection. The PS3 comes with the composite connector (since that will work on almost every TV made in the past 20 years), To make the componenet work, you need a specific PS3 to component connector (like the ones Photon linked above).

Edit: the discussion above discussed whether you could use the same cables. But on a PS3, since the one end is a specific PS3 connection and not simply female connections, the discussion is moot.
